$50,000 bail for woman charged with attempted murder

A 20-YEAR-OLD woman was granted $50,000 bail when she appeared before a Couva Magistrate  yesterday charged with the attempted murder of her common-law husband.

Tricia Maharaj appeared before Magistrate Jo-Anne Connor for the attempted murder of  Jason Nyck, at their Pascall Road, Couva, home on Tuesday evening. After the charge was read out in court, Magistrate Connor granted Maharaj $50,000 bail to be approved by the Clerk of the Peace, and adjourned the matter to July 7. Police are alleging that Maharaj had a heated argument with Nyck on Tuesday over their 18-month-old son, Nicolai. Up to late yesterday, Nyck remained warded in serious but stable condition at the San Fernando General Hospital. Detective Constable Brandon John of Couva CID, is the complainant in the matter.
